But today, a wonderful family brought supper that REALLY blessed my socks off. They brought a beautiful (cranberry, feta and almond with spinach) salad. They also brought vegetable lasagna, homemade bread, and almond flavored pound cake. I was SO grateful that they were willing to bring me a vegetarian meal. (We have put no limitations on anybody. And all the meals have been different, and all of them have been good.) This was GREAT! It would have been just what I would have asked for. Awesome!

Yes, frequently our cultural celebratory feasts are rather meat-heavy, but with little tweaks we've found a way to make it work which is so important to me because I MUST be involved in family holiday gatherings--vegan or not. Truth be told on the holidays I just load up on carbs instead of meat and am SO happy. I did that even when I ate meat. I've always loved bready things more than meaty things! Thanksgiving just isn't Thanksgiving without cornbread stuffing...I never cared about turkey! Which I realize is not the norm.BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497511995276601468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-55035061965124139392012-12-03T12:16:06.201-07:002012-12-03T12:16:06.201-07:00Ha!

Yup, a whole set of dish-washing Sasquatches!! : ) I haven't met the unattached uncle/cousin/etc, but I'll be sure to keep my eyes peeled for you! : )<br /><br />For me Thanksgiving has always been about the sides (potatoes and gravy, stuffing, corn, rolls, etc) so as long as those are around I am happy with whatever Matt wants to make for a centerpiece.BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497511995276601468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-82137610347728429842012-11-30T07:33:03.477-07:002012-11-30T07:33:03.477-07:00I'm so glad you did this post.

I am not totally opposed to meat, but would prefer some choices without it.

The guys are all Sasquatch and wash dishes? Okay, there must be a spare, free man of a certain age in that family. Please conduct a search and get back to me. No, I am not looking for a dishwasher, just a certain mindset and willingness. Plus, there will always be an electric dishwasher on the premises before I cook.<br /><br />Beautiful tablecloth.
